in the contest of upper mobility, barack and michelle obama have won, but they have won by being twice as good and enduring twice as much. whatever the obama children achieve, it will be evidence of their family's singular perseverance, not of broad equality. and yet, president obama in many ways is seen as a down payment on a form of reparation that already exists. >> i think people confuse individual achievement with racist inequality and those are two different things. it was great that jackie robinson integrated the majors. that didn't mean everything went away. it's great that we have a black president right now. that doesn't make everything go away. it's so interesting you read that particular paragraph because that was the one we fought the most over internally. but i think it's a very, very important point to make, that we aren't talking about a class-based thing here. or an income-based thing. we're talking about something that has to do with racism and that injures african-americans of all economic classes. >> so i want you to, professor katznelson, frame this historically fo
